...into any standard electrical socket, and can handle as many as 20 subjects an hour. To achieve this simplicity and speed, the machine records only five electrical stimuli per heartbeat, as against the standard machine's 13. These five are sufficient for basic screening. Since what is adjudged normal in an ECG varies with the subject's age, early models of the analyzer were set for use on only the age bracket of the volunteers being tested. Later models may be programmed for several age levels, which the technician can select by a simple dial...
...Debré had presided over the unpleasant business of granting Algeria independence-despite Debré's own opposition to the idea. The roots of the present events were struck in the May revolts, when Pompidou and De Gaulle had opposing ideas about how to bring France back to normal. De Gaulle wanted to hold a referendum on his participation scheme, which he felt would give the strikers and rioters the concessions that they wanted.

When a pulse of electricity is fired through the tube, it gives off a brief, intense flash of light. Inside the ruby rod, the chromium atoms are highly excited by the light flash; their electrons temporarily absorb excess energy. Then, as the electrons fall back toward their normal energy levels, each emits a photon. Some of the photons pass through the transparent walls of the ruby rod and are lost. But many hit the mirrors at either end of the rod and are reflected back to the opposite mirror. As they bounce back and forth along the rod, they stimulate...

Now that stronghold, too, has fallen to the cops, elections have been held, and France is at least temporarily back to normal. But the students' rebellion will long be remembered in France and elsewhere. Their grievances, with which the Gaullist Government will have to deal, are of special interest to American students. On the surface, their complaints are similar. At both Columbia and the Sorbonne, demonstrators demanded curriculums more consonant with...
